Q

What is Net force and when is Net force = 0?

A

Net force is the overall motion of the body taking HORIZONTAL and VERTICLE forces into count. Net force = 0 when the overall motions have no change in it and all force are balanced.

Q

When is Net force unbalanced?

A

Net force is unbalanced when there is change in motion and the external force acting on a body are unbalanced. During this situation of a body there will be acceleration, deceleration, change in shape and direction.

Q

Example of when Net force is balanced and unbalanced.

A

Net force balanced; in rugby 2 packs are in scrum with equal weight(Net force = 0)

Net force unbalanced; in tennis serve the player generates greater force then needed to over come the tennis ball’s inertia.

Q

How does Limb kinematics analyse’s movements.

A

reflective markers are placed on the body’s joints to which can be traced by the infra-red camera’s and convert into digital format. To evaluate the joint and limb efficiency with measurements of bones geometry, displacement, velocity and acceleration in multiple planes of movements.

Q

Advantages of force plates?

A

Reliable results are provided.
Can prevent injuries
Helps with generating the force needed for every contact point e.g. in verticle jump both legs need to generate the same Newtons of force.

Q

What is Reliability?

A

the extent to which an experiment, test, or measuring procedure gives the same result after repeated trails.

26
Q

What is validity?

A

How well a test measures what it claims to measure.

27
Q

What is Validity and Reliability purpose?

A

The purpose of establishing reliability and validity in research is essentially to ensure that data are sound and replicable, and the results are accurate.

28
Q

What are Wind tunnels?

A

Are aerodynamic tunnels that help to improve the the movement of air around an object e.g. F1 car.

29
Q

Advantages of Wind tunnels?

A

Accurate and Reliable data,
Good for performance analysis,
Can control environmental variables.

30
Q

Disadvantages of wind tunnels?

A

Very expensive to buy.
Take lots of space due its size.
Needs specialists to function it.
The analysis are very complex.

31
Q

Center of mass definition.

A

Centre of is the point at which the forces are balanced in all directions or from where gravity acts from

32
Q

Stability definition.

A

The ability for a body to resist motion and remain at rest.

+

It is also the ability to withstand applied force and return to original position.

33
Q

factors that effect stability.

A

Mass of Body,
Height of centre of mass
Base of Support,
Line of Gravity

34
Q

How can unstability be advantagous.

A

Changing direction,
Rotating,
Increasing the range of motion or stretching

35
Q

How to minimise stability?

A

Stability is minimised when the force acting on body are unbalanced and the body has gained motion.

36
Q

How to maximise stability?

A

Low body position (gives low centre of mass)
Large Base of support
Having multiple contact points
Line of gravity close to Base of support
Larger mass

37
Q

What is Lever system?

A

Is the co-ordination of our bones and muscles, to create human movement.

38
Q

Function of lever system?

A

Generate muscular effort to overcome a given load
Increase the speed of a given movement

39
Q

Name the 4 components of Lever System.

A

Lever=Bone
Fulcrum=Joint
Load=weight or resistance
Effort=muscular force

40
Q

What is a Lever?

A

A rigid structure which rotates around a fixed point.

41
Q

what is the fixed point where the Lever rotates?

A

fulcrum(joints)

42
Q

when is effort created?

A

when the muscles surrounding the joint contracts and the force is generated.

43
Q

Why is the force needed?

A

To overcome a given load.

44
Q

Example of Lever;

A

Radius and Ulna

45
Q

Example of Fulcrum;

A

Elbow joint

46
Q

Example of Effort;

A

Force created by biceps brachii

47
Q

Example of Load;

A

holding weights in hand during bicep curls

48
Q

Classification of levers

A

First class levers
Second class levers
Third class levers

49
Q

components and example of first class lever;

A

COMPONENT; fulcrum is in the middle
* E - F - L or L - F - E

EXAMPLE
extention of the head when preparing to header the ball

50
Q

components and example of Second class lever;

A

COMPONENT; Load is in the middle
* F - L - E or E - L - F

EXAMPLE
Ball of the foot in the take off phase of high jump

51
Q

components and example of third class lever;

A

COMPONENT; Effort is in the middle
* F - E - L or L - E - F

EXAMPLE
Flexion of the elbow during bicep curl

52
Q

Efficiency of the lever system is the……(what?)

A

is the order and distance of lever components from the fulcrum;
*Distance of Fulcrum > Effort == Effort arm
*Distance from Load > Fulcrum == Load arm

53
Q

What give a lever system Mechanical advantage or Mechanical disadvantage?

A

The length of the Effort or Load arm.

54
Q

True or False

in second class lever the effort arm is always greater than the Load arm.

A

True

55
Q

What Mechanical Advantage? which class lever has it?

A

Mechanical advantage is where the Effort arm is greater than the Load arm.
*Second class lever

56
Q

What Mechanical disadvantage? which class lever has it?

A

Mechanical disadvantage is where the Load arm is greater than the Effort arm.
*Third class lever

57
Q

What does Mechanical Advantage do?

A

Allows you to move larger load with relatively small force.

58
Q

What does Mechanical disadvantage do?

A

Larger Effort is required to move relatively small load.

59
Q

positive and negative of Second class lever or Mechanical advantage;

A

Positive;
*larger load is moved with small force

negative;
*at the expense of velocity

60
Q

positive and negative of third class lever or Mechanical disadvantage;

A

positive;
*moves the load at high velocity
*generate greater acceleration over larger range of motion

Negative;
*Need greater effort than load
